چکیده

In this article, we generalize the Wasserstein distance to measures with di erent masses. We study the properties of such distance. In particular, we show that it metrizes weak convergence for tight sequences. We use this generalized Wasserstein distance to study a transport equation with source, in which both the vector eld and the source depend on the measure itself. We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Cauchy problem when the vector eld and the source are Lipschitzian with respect to the generalized Wasserstein distance.

Euler Sprays and Wasserstein Geometry of the Space of Shapes

We study a distance between shapes defined by minimizing the integral of kinetic energy along transport paths constrained to measures with characteristic-function densities. The formal geodesic equations for this shape distance are Euler equations for incompressible, inviscid potential flow of fluid with zero pressure and surface tension on the free boundary. The minimization problem exhibits a...

Convergence to equilibrium in Wasserstein distance for Fokker-Planck equations

We describe conditions on non-gradient drift diffusion Fokker-Planck equations for its solutions to converge to equilibrium with a uniform exponential rate in Wasserstein distance. This asymptotic behaviour is related to a functional inequality, which links the distance with its dissipation and ensures a spectral gap in Wasserstein distance. We give practical criteria for this inequality and co...

Autoconvolution equations and generalized Mittag-Leffler ‎functions

This article is devoted to study of the autoconvolution equations and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. These types of equations are given in terms of the Laplace transform convolution of a function with itself. We state new classes of the autoconvolution equations of the first kind and show that the generalized Mittag-Leffler functions are solutions of these types of equations. In view of ...

The Existence Theorem for Contractive Mappings on $wt$-distance in $b$-metric Spaces Endowed with a Graph and its Application

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mappings with respect to a $wt$-distance in $b$-metric spaces endowed with a graph. Our results are significant, since we replace the condition of continuity of mapping with the condition of orbitally $G$-continuity of mapping and we consider $b$-metric spaces with graph instead of $b$-metric spaces, under which can be gen...

The fuzzy generalized Taylor’s expansion with application in fractional differential equations

In this paper, the generalized Taylor’s expansion is presented for fuzzy-valued functions. To achieve this aim, fuzzyfractional mean value theorem for integral, and some properties of Caputo generalized Hukuhara derivative are necessarythat we prove them in details. In application, the fractional Euler’s method is derived for solving fuzzy fractionaldifferential equations in the sense of Caputo...
